“Kneel and beg for it,” Harvey replied, calm.“If you do, I’ll give you a chance to save them.”‘Kneel?!’‘Beg?!’Everyone was shocked to hear those words. Even Fabian, Morgan, and the others, who were having breakfast with Harvey, couldn’t stop their jaws from dropping.‘What’s going on?!’‘Did he just say he wanted the fourth princess to kneel?!’For a long time, The Empire was the strongest country of them all.Even though the fourth successor of the throne probably had no chance sitting on the throne, her status was still immensely powerful.When the fourth princess traveled on behalf of The Empire, she would still be treated like the leader of a nation.The citizens and even royalty would pay their respects to her.Some would even write an entire speech a month prior, just to say a few words in front of her.Everyone would be terrified to offend the fourth princess and The Empire.Yet, Harvey demanded her to kneel and apologize.This was no longer a challenge.This
Everyone was baffled over the turn of events.When Hong Kong was once ruled by The Empire, even the governor would have to kneel on the side of the street just to welcome the princesses…Yet now, Harvey was the one demanding The Empire’s fourth princess to kneel!To top it off, he looked as if this was just par for the course. He hadn’t shown not even an ounce of respect to the fourth princess!Not only was her pampered ego being rightfully bashed, but The Empire’s royal family was also being ridiculed.At this very moment, the fourth princess was boiling with anger.At the same time, she knew full well that Harvey was forcing her into a corner.If she knelt, she would end up in Harvey’s hands sooner or later.And if everyone were to catch wind of what happened, her reputation within The Empire would be completely tarnished.“How dare you insult me, you b*stard?!”The fourth princess was utterly enraged.She let out a cold shrill laugh before kicking Harvey’s dining table.
“Let’s not talk about stuff that far ahead…”“After you tried to assassinate Lady Judd with your men last night, I should just end your life with a single slap right now.”“And I guarantee you that The Empire won’t even dare make a single sound after you die!”“Do you want to try?”Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice.The noble status of The Empire’s royal family meant nothing to him.“For the sake of Princess Victoria, I’ll give you one more chance.”“You either kneel, or you get out.”“Choose yourself.”“You’re beyond arrogant!”A blonde member of the Knights Templar screamed, unable to hold back his anger anymore.His companions were already sent flying, but after seeing his princess being humiliated, he gritted his teeth and stomped forward without hesitation.The Knights Templar were sworn to protect their princess. They would never sit and watch as their princess was being put down.“Roosevelt! Stand down!”The fourth princess, however, immediately stopped her su
This was humiliation!Utter humiliation!At this very moment, Roosevelt’s face was twisted into a horrible expression.He tried to get back up, but the strength in his knees disappeared after just a glance at Harvey’s calm gaze.His entire body was warning him that he would only die if he forced himself up.Harvey completely ignored the knight kneeling on the ground, and shifted his gaze toward the fourth princess.“Fourth Princess. Looks like your knight knows how to read the room better than you.”“You have three seconds…”“B*stard!”“You’ve crossed the line!”Several knights pounced forward while shouting furiously at Harvey.But before they could do anything, Edwin immediately showed up with a group of guards to stop them.“One second…” Harvey said casually, continuing to count. It was as if he didn’t see everything that had happened.“If you’re still not choosing, then I’m sorry, but I’ll have to do it for you…”“Damn you! Damn you!”The fourth princess was shiverin
Harvey wiped his hands before giving her a calm reply. “Business isn’t done this way, princess.”“Before we talk about letting the people go, shouldn’t we first decide whether Jason’s going to die or not?”“Don’t forget! According to the contract, his life is mine. He’s my servant. He bites whoever I tell him to.”“If you want him to live, then kill Vince in exchange.”“If he dies, Jason lives. The deal’s still on. I have no intention to call it off.”The fourth princess took a deep breath.“I know you’re trying to turn Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s wealthy families against The Empire, Harvey.”“That way, The Empire would have no way to meddle in the affairs here.”“Your plan to end Vince’s life using Jason is pretty cunning, I admit.”“That said, you’re overestimating me.”“I don’t represent The Empire’s royal family.”“Even if I go against everyone here, it doesn’t mean that they’re turning against The Empire.”“The Empire’s connection with Hong Kong and Las Vegas is really d
“Do you not understand me, Harvey?!”The fourth princess’s tone had become slightly colder.“Didn’t I just tell you?”“Number one: there’s no point in killing Vince!”“Number two: I don't even have enough power to take him down!”“You can name any other request!”“As long as it’s not out of my reach, I’ll satisfy you!”The fourth princess slightly gritted her teeth, as if she had come to a conclusion.“Even if you want to do strange things with me, I’ll fulfill your wishes!”The fourth princess revealed her pale shoulder to show her sincerity.“Sorry. You’re not worthy.”Harvey chuckled calmly.“I have no interest in being a third wheel.”“Also, you have no say in whether there’s a point in killing Vince. I call the shots here.”“Even if I can’t break off The Empire’s connection to Hong Kong’s wealthy families, as long as I’m happy, you’ll have to find a way to deal with him.”“If you can’t even kill Vince, how am I supposed to trust you?”“I’ll believe you when Vince i
“Send them out!”After making another pot of Black Tea, Harvey calmly waved his hand, not bothered to show the fourth princess even an ounce of respect.“Harvey York!”The fourth princess gritted her teeth; she wanted to lash out, but she restrained herself with all her might.She wanted to throw her tea at Harvey, but she had no choice but to hold back her anger. She knew the consequences of doing such a thing would be dire.After coldly glaring at Harvey for a good few minutes, the fourth princess stormed out of the place.A few minutes later, she was sitting in the back of her extended Rolls Royce with an extremely gloomy look.A handsome and elegant secretary handed her a glass of champagne respectfully.“Fourth Princess, what should we do now?”The fourth princess’s expression darkened instantly.“Assemble the Knights of the Round Table!” she exclaimed.The Knights of the Round Table were elites selected within the Knights Templar.If the Knights Templar were considere
Queenie seemed to have understood what Harvey wanted.“If that’s the case, should we tighten our defenses?” she asked with a warm smile.“If we don’t, the fourth princess will surely join forces with Vince to deal with us if she manages to rescue her men.”“That’s fine. I have plans for that already,” Harvey said calmly.“Her authority’s pretty limited. She can only rely on the descendants of Country H within The Empire at this point.”“Even with the Knights of the Round Table, there’s no way she can even get close to her men while I’m here.”Queenie nodded, and then began to ponder over the situation.“If there’s no way to save them, she might just get a few hostages of her own to trade with you.”“You’re already out of the picture. With the elites of the Yorks of Hong Kong next to you, nobody can even lay a finger on you.”“Leslie has the entire government of Hong Kong with her…”“Yoana has the Dragon Palace…”“Irene has Longmen’s branch…”“Zina has the Hamilton family…”
